BBC6 Radio - comment, discussion and moans

[spitfire]

spitfire, don't get me wrong, I love Spiritualized as much as the next person who's sat mashed in stranger's rooms at stupid o clock in the morning for the entire 90s. Pierce does get a bit over venerated though.

OK, we can be friends again.

 

[Petcha]

They're actually playing Cat Power's 'The Greatest' at the moment. No more.

Mrs B is pleased with the downbeat turn R6 has taken today, and is hoping for more royal deaths in the near future

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Ah fuck it. I'm turning it off. Off to the newsagent, that's my saturday sorted.

Now imagine you're a flag shagger. Proper porn, 144 pages of it.

I'm 50% in favour.

Can't do it, absolute torture to hear after every bloody track the same dour announcement and I've checked the schedules and it seems to be all weekend so far. Brother sent me this link from Radio 1 - now that's a classy way to behave to the news.

 

[spitfire]

I lasted 10 minutes and Maconie's doomy reminders of the People's Prince's death did for me. Music was about right for my head tbf.

That's the best thing I've heard all week. I'm switching.

 

[spitfire]

Mi-Soul grooving along nicely.

 

[cupid_stunt]

I am avoiding 6 totally this weekend, and sticking with Radio Caroline's usual mix of new & classic album tracks, and no mention Phil the Greek whatsoever, well certainly not in the last 5 hours since I put it on, an oasis of calm amongst the madness.

 

[brogdale]

There're putting me off Zero 7.
If it's fit for the parasite mourning playlist...

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Jamz seems to be kicking it up a bit.

 

[spitfire]

Poor old Craig got bumped then.

too happy. Not befitting the national mood.

 

[marty21]

Still the same this morning ffs , is this going to go on til he is in the ground?

Just wait until Lauren Laverne's over-emoting features next week. Gonna be unbearable.

 

[bellaozzydog]

I saw this mentioned on the main thread. Thought they were joking. 144 pages. How?

i presume they havebeen prepping obits for royalty deaths for decades, it must just build up

I know, but interestingly even though the schedule's changed again for today, they do seem to be doing their "normal" shows, except there were no "The Chain" callers this morning - you can imagine the nervousness of the BBC letting a member of the public possibly vent their spleen live about the fucking ridiculous mourning going on and on and on and why the hell were 6music listeners being treated as if they were radio 4 listeners? Talk about not knowing your audience demographics. Gideon's show was actually good last night with no mention of the Death of a Right Royal Racist mentioned once that I heard.

90’s day

 

[authoridroberts]

Bangin' tunes (mostly) today!

 

[Mr.Bishie]

On a jungle tip now, lovin it

 

[authoridroberts]

Apparently Nemone had a wicked D&B mix earlier - have to listen back when it all goes Pete Tong later!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

It’s been great all day so far. The decade from your teens is always going to be the one, isn’t it?

Yes it has, bar the odd track - I can leave Janet Jackson at WHSmith's thanks - but the 90s was my 20s the age I think when you start spreading your wings and expanding your tastes a little more. My teens in the 80s was a bit more blinkered - if it wasn't played by John Peel or Annie Nightingale or on C4's The Chart Show, the Indie episode, then it wasn't any good.

Same here, moved to London in 1990 aged 19. That was the decade that was.

 

[spitfire]

Absolutely cackling at this Mel c mix. It’s ace.

Absolutely cackling at this Mel c mix. It’s ace.

She was a guest DJ at an event I did the PA for a couple of years ago. Surprised us all when she turned up and actually did mix tunes together properly, rather than having a pre done CD like a lot of the celeb DJ’s do...

 

[killer b]

The decade from your teens is always going to be the one, isn’t it?

Absolutely not, I was into some total shite as a teen.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Absolutely not, I was into some total shite as a teen.

Which is exactly how it should be. See also fashion, haircuts, political outlook and general life choices.

 

[killer b]

Sure, but that's also why your teen decade shouldn't be 'the one'. Pretty much all of the stuff from my teenage decade that I like now was stuff I was indifferent to / had no knowledge of whatsoever at the time.

 

[killer b]

speaking of which, where's the teen ugly mug thread? I've got a total banger right here for it...
